- I’ve spent the last two weeks designing and installing containers themed around soft whites, pinks and purples. Today it’s time to share some of my favorite combinations! Join me as we have a little play time in the garden. 💕
Hope you all have a fabulous day!

So many interesting plant combinations, beyond the ordinary
Thank you so much! The plant world is so huge and there are so many gorgeous goodies to choose from!
Lots of great options. I love how you present different scenarios and explain the therory behind the design choices. ❤ 😃 🪴
Awesome video !!
Awww… thanks so much for watching! 💕
That was great!
Wow! Kate so much fun! I just bought 2 huge squares and now I have a clue what to do! You are a great teacher! Thank you!!!
Ooooooo... I should introduce you to radius plantings in square containers. I've started doing them and I'm OBSESSED. Also, FYI, I just made that term up. As per usual. Ha!
@@HelloGarden oh my! Please do! You are the best!
Will you show us later in the season how these combos look ?
A lot of these combos were used on properties where I can’t film (they are private homes). But I’ll see if I can get permission to share pictures! I always want to be respectful of my clients and their properties.
Thank you for your time, expertise and teaching style! I learn SO MUCH from your videos Kate.🌻🦋🐝 Do you think I can divide prince tut and caladium so I can make 2 containers instead of one? I don't want to kill either of them. I saved up for these babies. I chose elephant ears, prince tut, caladium and dichondra falls for an arrangement ... your thoughts??? Thanks, Tonia in SE Michigan 6b
Haaaard question. I would only do it if it has barely broken dormancy or if it was still dormant. Since you saved up for these babies, let them be big and full and enjoy the heck out of them! You made FABULOUS choices. 💞
💚💚💚I think I’ve found my “Bob Ross” of gardening😂 😊 🖼️
Thank you for being you and sharing!
Just a bunch of happy little plants...
Wow! Such beautiful containers and amazing explanation of your planting philosophy! If you don’t already have a book on container planting, you should write one. You demonstrate and explain so well! Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!🙌👍❤️
Writing a book is totally on my vision board. I’m an avid reader and writer so this is something that is on my heart to create. I just need a publisher! 💕
@@HelloGarden Excellent! I think you just wrote a chapter in today’s video! I’ll be waiting to hear more news from you on this! I’m confident it will be a success! 👍👍👍
Love the interesting pot arrangements. Helps me get a better idea of what I need to pick up at garden center. Fun to see all the different varieties of plants as well. I learn something new every video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.🌻🌻
You’re so welcome and it mean so much that I get to share with you all! Have SO much fun plant shopping!!!
You are the queen of containers! Every single one of them has me wanting to rush out and buy more plants! Love your style. ❤
You all make me feel like a million bucks! 💮
Your plant combinations have really inspired me to step outside the ordinary this year. I’ve always enjoyed gardening but you’ve motivated me to a higher level!
YES! The plant world is a big, wonderful, crazy place... and I'm so glad I could inspire you to explore it! ☺
I love Blackie sweet potato vine, for me in zone 7b it’s very aggressive, I call it my bully plant, it takes over the container it’s beautiful in fall with pumpkins around it!!
Oooooo… YES. Do you put pumpkins IN your containers in the fall?!? That would be awesome together.
“Container Geometry” who knew geometry could be so much fun and create something so beautiful . . . every high school math teacher of course 🤣🪴👩🏻🌾
Soooo... apparently that will be a chapter in my Container Garden book. Ha! I'm manifesting it as we speak... :)
After seeing the double inpatients, I can't go back. That is all I get now. They perform amazingly and look like a bed of little roses. They spread too in my zone anyway, 8A.
I don’t think there was a single container that I didn’t think “where can I put that, I have to have it!”
Wow I have learned so much from your videos 🪴❣️ Such beautiful arrangements! Wherever you get your plants from are so healthy looking. Love your videos!
I source from a few different wholesalers and I’m trying to get permission to film on property! They do such a fabulous job. 💕 And thank you for supporting me by watching and commenting! It makes a HUGE difference for a growing channel like mine.
Thanks for showing so many plant options and so many light levels. I’m learning so much from you!!
Yay! I absolutely refuse to tell people you either have sun or shade. This world has so much nuance and we get to play with all of it!
I could hear your voice whispering in my ear, Kate, as I filled a front porch container. I knew it needed one more special plant, so I dug up a small fern from my garden. Voilà, a perfect finishing touch! You are such a wonderful teacher! 🩷
That is EXACTLY what I would do!!! I'm so proud of you! 💞
All of the container combos are stunning ! 💐💚🙃
Thank you so much! 🌸
Beautiful! I am excited because I have a few of these same plants 🌱 😊.
So creative ❤ love your container ideas 💡💕🌸🌾🌻
Love double impatiens!!
Oh my those double impatients are now on my list - and I thought I was finished ! 🥰🇨🇦
I think square containers are so difficult to design so I avoid using them.
Kate, you've given me permission(?), courage to try unusual pairings. The other day, I had a tray of Jazzberry supertunias and a nemesia 'Tropical' nearby. I loved the color play between the raspberry blooms with the nemesia's orange slash rose delicate blooms (I wish I'd bought more than one of that color nemesia because it's so beautiful). To a very tall black round container, I put the above plants with a dichondra 'Silver Falls' and an elephant ear corm. 😱 I have this container next to my newly painted front door in a color similar to 'Once In a Melon' echinachea. I had the elephant ears on hand, but I really wanted to find a striped-leaf canna.
Yes yes yes! I love that you’re having a big old play in the garden. 😊
I’m sure you know this but don’t let creeping Jenny loose from the container, she’s a spreader. She is currently growing through my lawn and into my flower beds. While it’s a nice ground cover she eats anything in her path so I’m constantly pulling her away from my other plants, flowers and shrubs. Again she’s not a BAD plant to have around but she’s definitely prolific. 💐💚🙃
Oh heeeeeck yes. She’s an assertive plant. 😉
That was fun!!!!!!! Thank you.
Those arrangements are so beautiful. I will have to come back to this video next year. In two of my containers I’ve stayed away from Boxwood as they are totally being decimated by the boxwood caterpillars/moths in my area. I bought the PW Inkberry holly. They are globular in shape but I use an obelisk to surround it to give it visual height for now. 🌸🇨🇦
Great boxwood alternative!
Great combination’s
You had me at heliotrope 💜🤣😂😉
Thanks for all these container options and ideas! I love these colors and textures.
If you plant your containers that full what happens as they get established and put on some growth? It seems like they would grow together so much that you might lose some of the textures or colors. Also, how long will the containers last?
I loooove it when my containers knit together. But I’m also in there directing their growth and shaping it. I’m going to do a container maintenance video and talk about it.
❤
I like the first container better without the extra creeping Jenny. 😊💐💚🙃
I love that I get to show lots of options because everyone’s tastes are so different! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
So satisfying ❤
How do you get bacopa to not get moldy in the center? I literally rip it out of my baskets.
Great question! It might be too wet in the center. Do you water it close to the crown? If so, move farther out. I place mine on the edges of containers and only water around the plant… no issues. Hope that helps!
Thanks for another inspirational video, and again the timing is perfect. Just picked up a bunch of annuals and perennials to attract hummingbirds, so right now the plants are placed in the pots and I am watching to see how I like it. As usual you gave me some great ideas and I will add some Japanese forest grass as well. ❤
Oooooo… yes! I love hummingbirds so much. I noticed that my cut flower garden has doubled my hummingbird population. Totally an “if you build it, they will come” moment.
Love watching these container videos. I have the idea to put 2 massive (like 3ftx4ft) containers at the end of our driveway and fill them with beautiful shade loving plants. The planters will get some morning sun, but shade most of the day. My issue is coming up with deer resistant plants that I can set and forget for the most part. Zone 6 Western PA. Any ideas........anyone?
Oooo.. a challenge! Begonias, coleus, caladium, Persian shield… you’ve got options! 😍
@@HelloGarden Never heard of Persian shield, but oh my it is gorgeous!
I learn so much about container composition with each video. Thanks you for sharing your knowledge and expertise, your communication style is fabulous
Thank you so much for being here!
That rift blue lobelia was new to me, gorgeous!
I wish I bought twice the amount of the rift blue from my wholesaler! I should really do a top 10 plants from this season. It would definitely be on that list!
They are all so beautiful 😊
Thank you friend! 💗
Fantastic video! Loved it!!❤️ thank you
Thank you so much!
I love your content! The pants are fire today!❤
Wait. Pants 👖 or plants 🌱? Either way… thank you!!!
I love the plants and jeans (pants)!
I love the way you show doing😂 containers, I found you from Janey, and I’m really appreciating that you use both perennials and annuals..I love learning….I’m in my sixty’s, but never too old to learn new things..u tube gardening has become my own personal garden club.😊 thank you.
No plant is safe from me and my container adventures. 🤣 I’m so thrilled to be part of your garden club!
You are an artist!!! So much education here...thank you!
Awww... Thank you one million! I actually do consider myself an artist... I just paint with plants. 💕
Love these arrangements!
Thank you so much! 💐
